This is bizarre and just plain creepy. Yet, I'm strangely interested in how you make a diamond from DNA.

I'm not talking about a ring made out of one of ZZ Top's guitar strings, no sir. I'm talking about <I>real</I> music history. A company called Life Gem is making three diamonds out of DNA taken from Beethoven's hair, allowing a few lucky people to walk around with literally a piece of the famous composer on their hands. Creepy.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.scifi.com/tech/archives/2007/02/14/make_diamonds_o.html"><P>The company can also make diamonds out of less famous corpses, allowing you to carry around a piece of your departed loved one in bling form forever and ever. Or at least until you croak and get turned into a diamond. It's the circle of life! Prices range from $3,500 to about $25,000, so start saving now while your future jewelry is still alive. <SPAN class="Byline">— Adam Frucci</SPAN></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9EEB4593-2237-4062-B9E3-0B4C7B64506A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
